Is there a parser for the DNS logs in Logstash? I've noticed some of my logs are not being parsed, the ones with multiple lines. This shows up as a single field. How can I parse it? ``` jsonPayload.rdata google.com. 299 IN a 172.217.214.113 google.com. 299 IN a 172.217.214.101 google.com. 299 IN a 172.217.214.138 google.com. 299 IN a 172.217.214.100 google.com. 299 IN a 172.217.214.102 google.com. 299 IN a 172.217.214.139 ``` ---

If you receive that as a single event and want to extract the 6 entries then you can do it using ruby and scan. See [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/stop-proccesing-events-lines-after-first-grok-match/214696/10) for an example. ---
